Excellent and as far as I know that is exactly right. I don't do a BOS either way. Just my preference.
I do always show my CCW if buying or selling and ask to see one anytime I have not done a firearm deal with someone before. I think some of the issue in this post (before the rabbit trails) was the wording of "peek at CCW appreciated" - I am a pretty literal guy so "appreciated" does not mean required (but if me, I would show it anyway). But if PMs clarified the expectation to see a CCW then the buyer should've clearly said that he did not have one UP FRONT.
Had a guy on here once offer to meet me to purchase a gun and he clearly told me he had neither CCW or GA DL. Said he lived in GA but had not gotten his license changed yet. I politely declined. All done in PMs, all polite, no wasted time and no issues.
Communication - clear, honest and UP FRONT is the key.
Heck the one Neg I have is from a deal that I backed out of selling a gun to another member before the meet so I deserve it and I get that but even in that case I advised him before either of us travelled to meet.
I still have a PA area code on my cell phone even though I've been back in GA right at 7 years now and let people know when I first joined ODT that I didn't have a problem showing my DL and GWCL to prove I was legit.
On my second deal the seller asked if it was okay to peak at my GWCL, didn't want to copy any info, just wanted to be sure. No problemo from me.
Do the deal, shoot the crap for a few minutes, we start to go our separate ways and I realize I forgot to show my license and he forgot to ask.
I flag him down and offer to show it, he says "No, that's cool."
Disclaimer- I'm an old guy, no metal or tattoos on my face, so that helps.
